Evaluation of Visceral Adipose Tissue Oxygenation by Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent MRI in Zucker Diabetic Fatty Rats.

CONCLUSIONS: This work demonstrated the feasibility of BOLD-MRI for detecting the VAT oxygenation status in ZDF rats, and the BOLD-MRI signals were associated with insulin resistance and systemic metaflammation in ZDF rats during the development of obesity.
